That's it, Mexico is going to the semifinals for the first time ever!

Incredible catch by Arozarena to preserve the lead for Mexico!

Paredes with the two run single! We're all tied at 4! Edit: Now leading 5-4!

Mexico slowly closing the gap. 4-2 in the 6th inning

Puerto Rico with a big start. 4 runs in the 1st inning already

Time for quarterfinal 3 between Puerto Rico and Mexico

Another semifinal appearance for Japan. Their simply was no competition for them on the asian side of the tournament. As always, the semifinals will be the biggest challenge for them. They should be favoured against Mexico of Puerto Rico but there's a reason why the games are played

Italy cuts the lead in half and that's the end of Ohtani's night (pitching wise at least)

Okamoto has left the building! 4-0 Japan

Ohtani with the bunt single. Is there anything this guy can't do!?

The Dominicans are out! However it looks like Edwin Diaz hurt himself in the celebration

Dominicans have 3 more outs to salvage their knockout round chances

Congratulations @mrv86! Hope Mexico defeats whoever they play in Pool D in the quarterfinals. No complaints about the Canadian team from me. They exceeded my expectations

Arozarena continues his amazing day with a bases clearing double. That's the game

Miami is about to go crazy for Cuba on Sunday!

Australia strikes first! 1-0 lead

Also the last time Canada and Mexico played each other in the WBC, this happened. 10 years ago in the same ballpark.

Huge day coming up tomorrow for Pool's C and D: Group D is pretty straight forward: Venezuela has clinched a quarterfinal spot and will finish 1st The winner of the Puerto Rico vs. Dominican Republic game will take the 2nd spot. Group C is a little bit trickier: Both the Mexico vs. Canada and United States vs. Colombia have huge implications. Scenario 1: Mexico and United States win: Mexico finishes 1st. United States finishes 2nd. Colombia is relegated. Scenario 2: Mexico and Colombia win: Mexico finishes 1st. 2nd place between United States, Canada, and Colombia would be determined by the runs allowed per defensive outs tie breaker. Great Britain is relegated. Scenario 3: Canada and United States win: United States finishes 1st. Canada finishes 2nd. Colombia is relegated. Scenario 4: Canada and Colombia win: Canada finishes 1st. Colombia finishes 2nd over United States and Mexico due to head-to-head tie-breaker. Great Britain is relegated.

Absolutely massive win for Canada! Huge showdown with Mexico coming up tomorrow. The US vs. Colombia game looks like it's going to be significant as well

A clutch 3-run home run by Otto Lopez! 5-0 Canada

We got a pitching duel between Canada and Colombia. Canada leads 1-0 in the 7th inning

Thank you! The calendar has been updated

Well, I wasn't expecting to win but I definitely wasn't expecting to be losing 9-0 after 1 inning . You gotta feel bad for the starting pitcher, Mitch Bratt. A 19 year old minor leagues and you're asked to pitch against possibly the greatest offense of all time. I am secretly hoping the plan was to treat this as a throw away game and that we saved our better pitchers against Colombia and Mexico

8 more runs to go to tie the game!

Hahahahaha, can they just end the game already
